Murder of the Seedlings


I finally moved my tiny tomato and pepper seedlings into peat pots to wait for them to grow big and strong until I plant them outside into beds and containers. Some of the pots had 2 or 3 seedlings and I know that I need to have only 1 plant per pot. One is supposed to take a tiny cuticle scissors and snip off the weakest seeding in the pot leaving only the healthiest to survive. This is a task I hate doing. With each snip of my cruel weapon I feel as if I am killing a living thing. I am a murderess. I hope the survivors appreciate this and reward me with bushels of delicious tomatoes
